complete scan taking 72+ hours

I have Mc complete protection 2018 when i do a complete scan on my hp laptop it takes up to 72+ hours to complete seems to be even slower when i leave it on overnight the complete percentage stays the same. is this normal to take this long. or something i can do ?

Hi @a.e.s.fisher

The scan duration is depending upon the amount of data in machine. If the machine has huge data or multiple internal hard drives then McAfee needs more time to scan everything in the computer

Thank you for the information , it makes sense to me now. I've trusted Mcafee since day one when I installed it and will continue to trust it 

Thanks again
